Greetings citizens of Planet Bob, The Eagle Nebula salutes you! We're a maroon team alliance that likes to think we're pretty cool. (citation needed) We would like to thank the Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations for giving us their protection. May we both live long and prosper side-by-side. We aim to keep this declaration short and sweet, so without further ado, the charter of The Eagle Nebula.

The Charter of The Eagle Nebula

Founded on the 28th day of November, 2009

Section I, Introduction

Article I, Abstract

The following document, The Charter of The Eagle Nebula, shall from this day forth be the fundamental outline of all aspects relating to The Eagle Nebula, be they domestic or external. The membership of The Eagle Nebula must abide by the laws and policies enacted into this charter, or will face punishment outlined by this charter or any documentation relating to this charter. The charter of The Eagle Nebula is considered the highest form of law within The Eagle Nebula, and overrides all other policies or documentation.

The term Nebulan used in this document refers to a member of The Eagle Nebula.

Article II, Color

The Eagle Nebula is a Maroon team alliance. It is strongly encouraged that nations of The Eagle Nebula be on the Maroon team, although exceptions can be made.

Section II, Government

Article I, The Pillars

The Pillars, which shall consist of three elected members, act as the governing officers of The Eagle Nebula. They are responsible for all internal and external affairs, and these duties are bestowed upon each Pillar equally. The Pillars have the authority to create and destroy sub governmental positions as they see fit. Such actions do not require a majority vote within the Pillars

Each Pillar serves a 60-day term. Once the term expires, the Pillar can run for office again, but is not obligated to do so. Any Nebulan can run for the vacant Pillar position. Elections will be held every 20 days for one Pillar spot.

Article II, The Nebulan Counselor

The Nebulan Counselor acts as an advisor to the Pillars, and also may help in making executive decisions at the discretion of the Pillars. The main charge of the Nebulan Counselor is to inform incoming, newly-elected Pillars of the current state of affairs in the government, so that the Pillar can continue the work of the previous Pillar without delay. The Nebulan Counselor is appointed by the previous Nebulan Counselor to his/her position for a life term until they choose to resign. Alternatively, the Nebulan Counselor may be removed from office by a unanimous decision by the Pillars.

Article III, Impeachment

Should a Pillar fail to govern justly and in the best interest of The Eagle Nebula's membership, the membership can start a vote to impeach the Pillar. A two-thirds majority is needed to remove the Pillar from his position. Following the impeachment, the membership may then elect a new Pillar to the vacant office at the time of the next election. All cycling of government continues as usual despite this emergency election.

Section III, Membership

Article I, Application

Any nation may apply to join The Eagle Nebula, however the Pillars reserve the right to deny anyone admittance on three principles: 1) They fail a basic writing examination. 2) They fail a basic quiz on The Eagle Nebula Charter. 3) They have outstanding debts/conflicts with other alliance. In addition to these principles, the Pillars may also deny any applicant membership for any reason (i.e. immaturity, OOC bigotry, etc.).

Article II, Expulsion

Should a member of The Eagle Nebula fail to uphold the laws stated in this document, and all subsequent documents of The Eagle Nebula, they shall be subject to expulsion by a unanimous vote of the Pillars.

Section IV, War

Article I, Defensive Wars

Wars in the defense of The Eagle Nebula require no voting or consensus by the Pillars. This includes single nation attacks on The Eagle Nebula and alliance-wide wars. Each member nation shall receive full military support in all defensive wars.

Article II, Offensive Wars

Offensive wars, including wars in support of alliances allied to The Eagle Nebula, require the approval of two of the three Pillars to be declared. Should two of the Pillars be unreachable within 48 hours of a declaration of war on an allied alliance, the remaining Pillar may choose to or to not declare war.

Section V, Amendments and Ratification

Article I, Amendments

Any member may propose an amendment to The Eagle Nebula's charter. The amendment will be put to an alliance-wide vote. To pass, the amendment must receive a two-thirds majority of supporting votes from the membership and the support of at least two Pillars.

Article II, Ratification

We, the undersigned founding members of The Eagle Nebula, ratify this charter on this day, November 28th 2009. Long live The Eagle Nebula!

Our Flag:

The three bars are representative of the three Pillars in our government, and the crescent moon and star represent our astronomical roots.

And I present the Nebula's anthem, written by our very own CharlieScene.

With heads held high

And guns in hand,

We'll give our lives,

To defend this land.

From rocky mount

To bloody sand,

Here or there

We shall stand.

So long as the Eagle's flight's in view,

And our minds are on the star and moon,

We welcome you to visit our forums: http://s1.zetaboards.com/The_Eagle_Nebula/index/

and our IRC at #TEN on Coldfront. Long live The Eagle Nebula!

Note: I apologize for the misspelling in the topic description. It should read "A Declaration of Existence".
